Instructions

1. Glue buttons of various shapes, sizes and colors onto paper when doing arts and crafts. They are great for use in scrap booking and when making collages. Glue them around a picture frame for a unique new look.

2. Replace lost pieces to games with buttons.

3. Use buttons to make jewellery. String them onto thread or string for fun bracelets and necklaces.

4. Decorate a one of a kind tote back by sewing an assortment of buttons onto the bag.
